Furloughs Hit 50 Logan Road Workers
State Road Commissioner Burl A. Sawyers blamed overspending from the routine maintenance fund for furloughing about 50 road crew workers in Logan County. He cited a $40,000 to $45,000 deficit from an imbalance of labor, equipment and materials and noted the transfer of former county road superintendent Harold Hale to Huntington as part of the investigation. Most workers were sent home to align the Logan office with other counties, with hopes of recall as needed.
